1980 Sedan

Hey gentlemen, been doing lots of work will have pics soon.

Current predicament:

What header would be best?
-85-95 EFI
-No EGR

Will a truck header fit? Are there headers with no EGR ports?

Have you found out what headder fits best?

Get the OBX header for a Celica. It has the A.I.R. pump holes and the EGR, but you can have them welded up for cheap before you put it on. It is a stainless steel header, so looks great forever.
On a 2xR, the EGR feeds through the holes below the #2 and 3 exhaust ports, so a machinist can weld those holes and surface that side of the head so that you never have to worry about a block off plate for the intake side of the head either.

nice! thanks for the input. I will order the OBX.

Got a new 22RE last week. Dropping off head to be pressure tested and inspected this saturday!

Getting super excited, I think its gonna work this time

What year 22RE? Early or late? The late motors ('85 and later) make more power.

Late model, 85-95 was in a buddys 4runner. It was getting coolant in the oil.

Looks to be from the timing chain cover. Someone tried to weld inside where the chain ate through and failed.

Super excited to get this show on the road!

engnbldr.com has the chain set w/ steel backed drivers side guide for CHEAP! Also sells the chain and cover as a set.

They do have awesome prices. I am gonna order that along with my rings and bearings.

Thanks!

engnbldr pistons are WAY out of balance, so if you need pistons, I'd go to 22re.com. I got my bearings and gaskets from partsdinosaur.com. engnbldr head gaskets are notorious for seeping oil after a very short period of time.

Getting really close to driving.

Now that is it freezing outside my attention is quicly turning to the heating....

I did repalce the destroyed heater core, that and the heater seem to be in good shape...BUT

The "tube" that goes from the heater to the fan (behind glove box) is completely missing and the fan has big pieces kicked out of it.

So it might blow hot air but just in the general area of wherever it feels like

I tried an ae86 "tube" vent to try to connect the heater and fan but it was too small.

Does anyone know if maybe Celica or Cressida parts might fit? Or what site to use for parts cross referencing?

Thanks!
